A3.2: Consequent Non-service Increment
Non-service based salary increment
1. Subject to 4 below, all full and part-time permanent teachers, full and part-time long-term relievers, and teachers in fixed term positions appointed for two or more school terms, who are employed as at 5 February 2003 and who, on that date, hold a three-year bachelor degree, a four-year honours degree or a five-year masters degree or Ph.D. together with a recognised teaching qualification (e.g. Diploma of Teaching) and subject to having met the appropriate level of professional standards at their last assessment (provided that this assessment occurred within the previous 12 months), shall, where they are not already at their qualification group maximum, receive a salary increment of one step on that date. For clarity these qualifications must be held separately and teachers who hold a three-year teaching degree that incorporates a recognised teaching qualification are not eligible to receive the increment outlined above.
2. This increment shall have no effect on a teacher’s anniversary of service for pay progression purposes, and a teacher shall be entitled to progress to the next step in the salary scale on their anniversary of service subject to the provisions of this agreement. For clarity, teachers whose anniversary of service for pay progression purposes is 5 February 2003 shall receive the increment provided above in addition to their ordinary increment falling due.
3. Eligible teachers who are approved leave under Part 6 of this Agreement at 5 February 2003 shall be entitled to the increment.
4. Teachers who have entered the service in 2003 and who have been placed on the new entry steps for teachers holding a three-year bachelor degree, a four-year honours degree or a five-year masters degree or Ph.D. together with a recognised teaching qualification (e.g. Diploma of Teaching) are not eligible to receive the non-service based increment provided for under this clause.
